Description

Salt Lake City VAMC - Readjustment Counseling Services This is a Sources Sought Notice (NOT A SOLICITATION). The Salt Lake City, UT, VA Medical Center is seeking potential qualified sources to provide Readjustment Counseling Services to eligible veterans. Please direct all questions to ian.boettcher@va.gov General Requirements: Contractor shall provide readjustment counseling services to eligible veterans located in rural communities where the veterans reside (greater than 50 miles from the nearest Vet Center) within Uintah county and in the cities of Vernal, UT. These services are performed for the Readjustment Counseling Services at the Provo Vet Center, located at 1807 N 1120 W, Provo, UT 84604. The Contractor shall provide readjustment counseling services to veterans who are assigned to their care. The counseling may include traditional psychotherapeutic modalities, but the purpose of psychotherapy (or any modality) must be, as a primary task, to address readjustment difficulties derived from military duties and the homecoming experience. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT WORK (portion of the Statement of Work) A.The Contractor shall furnish readjustment counseling services to eligible veterans referred by the Vet Center staff. No client will be seen without the Vet Center referral and approval. B.Readjustment counseling, for purposes of this contract, is counseling provided by licensed mental health providers; clinical social workers, psychologist,, or other qualified counselors that will provide services specifically directed at social, psychological, or behavioral difficulties explicitly related to the post-war readjustment to civilian life. Such difficulties may interfere with a veteran's job performance, education pursuits, family and other interpersonal relations, or overall ability to cope with daily life. C.Modalities of readjustment counseling include individual, group and family counseling; all of which must have as their central purpose the post-war readjustment of war zone veterans. This service does not include general mental health services, but only provides readjustment counseling for psychosocial difficulties related to post-war readjustment from military duty, for example: 1.Exposure to combat-related war trauma. 2.Exposure to other aspects of war zone stress. 3.Post-traumatic stress disorder (as defined by the current DSM) or other war-related social and psychological difficulties. 4.Stressors unique to military duty for eligible veterans. 5.Psychological concern over a possible service-connected condition. 6.Substance abuse connected with military duty and/or post-war homecoming and readjustment. 7.Difficult post-war experiences, including disrupted homecoming and unsuccessful re-entry into civilian roles. 8.Concern over possible Agent Orange, biological or chemical agent exposure or ramifications thereof. 9.Generalized alienation from society manifested by lack of expectable familial, educational or vocational activities. 10.Psychosocial difficulties related to type of military discharge for other than a dishonorable discharge. D.The provision of medications and physical examinations are not to be considered a component of readjustment counseling, and therefore, will not be provided under this contract as a reimbursable service to the contractor. E.Nonetheless, offerors should have the capability through referral to arrange for needed physical examinations, prescription medications or other medical treatment. When this is not feasible due to geographical distance, the contract provider should coordinate with the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) for assistance in facilitating referrals to VA medical providers. 3.GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF ELIGIBLE SERVICE PROVIDERS Contractor and Service providers submitting offers in response to this request for proposal (RFP) shall be physically located within the geographic boundaries for which the contract award is made. The boundaries described herein are determined by RCS and local VA officials, based upon "geographical areas of need" (e.g. a given city, county, or locality where a Vet Center is present but, because of a large veteran population, cannot adequately provide services). All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capabilities with regard to the above requirement. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely with the Government discretion. Firms responding should indicate whether they are, or are not, a small business, a socially and economically disadvantaged business, veteran owned small business/service disabled veteran owned small business or a woman owned business. The NAICS code to be used for this acquisition is 621330 ($7.5M). The Government reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based upon responses hereto for any subsequent acquisition. Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice. Respondents will not individually be notified of the results of any Government assessments. The Government's evaluation of the capability statements received will factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation (e.g. SDVOSB, HUB Zone, 8(a), WOSB, VOSB, etc). All prospective vendors must be registered and current within the System for Award Management (SAM). Visit www.sam.gov for details. In addition, all SDVOSBs and VOSBs must be registered and current within VetBiz. Visit www.vetbiz.gov for details. All responses must be received by 9-2-2016 by 4:30pm MST POC for this notice is Ian Boettcher / ian.boettcher@va.gov
